Great plants for shady locations.  Hostas range in size from tiny dwarfs with leaves only an inch or so long to huge varieties forming clumps up to 6' wide.  The nearly limitless variety of leaf shapes, sizes, patterns and colors make them one of the most versatile plants available for the shade. They are useful as ground covers, edging plants, or  specimens, in the border, in masses, or mixed with other shade loving plants such as ferns, Astilbes, Polygonatums, Liriopes, and many others for naturalized shade gardens. We carry a nice variety of Hostas, but if you are really serious about them you must visit our sister website, Bridgewood Gardens. They specialize in Hostas and have an amazing selection.

Medium - This section includes some of the most useful landscape Hostas and some of the most beautiful.  Plant size generally ranges from about 20" to 36" across, making them suitable as specimens or for massing to cover large areas. Dwarf and Small Hostas are on the Hosta Page and Large sizes are on the Hosta3 Page.

801900 Hosta 'Antioch’    Sold Out  
Quart Pots - $7.95 ea.
We like ‘Antioch’ because it has an informal look to it, large pointed leaves that arch nearly to the ground, with wide, irregular margins of creamy white. Each leaf is different, and a mature clump is really beautiful. It has won multiple awards from the Hosta Society, and going back through our copies of the Journal, we could not find a year when it wasn’t ranked highly on the popularity poll, right up there with all the expensive new introductions.  

817300 Hosta fortunei 'Aureomarginata’    Sold Out
Quart Pots - $5.95 ea.
This is a rather common plant, but one of my favorites. It has the classic neat, mounded form, with dark green leaves edged in gold.  It is a vigorous grower that multiplies quickly, making it ideal for massing.  Lavender flowers.

818100 Hosta 'Francee’   Sold Out 
Quart Pots - $6.95 ea.
To read a short catalog description, you might think that ‘Antioch’ and ‘Francee’ were pretty much the same - green fortunei types with white variegation. But they are totally different (well, as totally as two similar plants can be). ‘Francee’ is more upright and symmetrical, the leaves darker green with a neat, narrow white edge, a more formal and elegant plant. Like ‘Antioch’ it always rates highly on the popularity poll.  

820300 Hosta 'Gold Standard’  Sold Out
Quart Pots - $6.95 ea.
‘Gold Standard’ starts the season in a deceptively plain fashion, emerging in spring with medium green leaves. But it soon begins to develop a beautiful mound of brightly variegated foliage as all but the margins of the leaf turn to gold. ‘Gold Standard’ is a fortunei type, vigorous and fast to multiply. It forms a medium size mound.  

821900 Hosta 'Grand Tiara’   Sold Out
Quart Pots - $9.95 ea.
A sport from ‘Golden Tiara’, the leaf is a bit larger and has more substance. The gold margin is much wider, sometimes so wide that it gives the effect of a golden yellow leaf with a center splash of green. The width of the margin varies with exposure and the season.  

823700 Hosta 'Halcyon’    Sold Out
Quart Pots - $9.95 ea.
We don’t think we’ve ever seen a Hosta with a more beautiful blue color than this one, a chalky, powdery blue in spring, turning to a deep blue in the summer, and holding up well in the fall after most Hostas have turned to mush. The leaves are heart-shaped and heavily ribbed. They arch and overlap, forming a neat, symmetrical mound topped by white flowers This is definitely one of our favorite Hostas.  

827500 Hosta 'June’   Sold Out
Quart Pots - $14.95 ea.
This is the gold centered form of ‘Halcyon’. The leaves are a rich, powdery gold, with a narrow blue edge. The color is best in fairly bright light, tending to yellow-green in deep shade. Flowers are pale lavender.

837600 Hosta 'Night before Christmas’   Sold Out
Quart Pots - $9.95 ea.
This is a sport of ‘White Christmas’ with long, deep green leaves with a white streak down the center. Much more vigorous than ‘White Christmas’ forming a medium to large mound with lavender flowers. The center fades to light green in mid summer.  

839900 Hosta 'Patriot’   Sold Out
Quart Pots - $12.95 ea.
Introduced in 1992, this is a sport of ‘Francee’, one of our favorite white-margined hostas. Instead of ‘Francee’s’ clean, narrow white edge, ‘Patriot’ has a dramatic 1” wide, clear white margin, with an occasional bit of white streaking in the middle. One of the most popular new introductions of recent years.  Lavender flowers.

840500 Hosta 'Permanent Wave’   Sold Out
Quart Pots - $12.95 ea.
Long, narrow, pointed leaves, medium green, with undulating edges.  Forms a very interesting clump.  Pale lavender flowers.

840800 Hosta 'Pineapple Poll’    Sold Out  
Quart Pots - $7.95 ea.
Forms a very distinctive mound of upright, narrow, wavy-edged gray-green leaves. Multiplies rapidly. Lavender flowers.

844100 Hosta 'Royal Standard’   Sold Out 
Quart Pots - $5.95 ea.

849900 Hosta 'So Sweet’    Sold Out
Quart Pots - $9.95 ea.
Rounded, glossy green leaves have a wide, creamy-white margin. Recently named “Hosta of the Year”, it forms a very pretty, upright clump with fragrant white flowers. One of the best.  

854500 Hosta 'Tambourine’   Sold Out
Quart Pots - $12.95 ea.
An upright plant with beautiful heart-shaped leaves with wavy edges, green with a 1" creamy white margin. Purple flowers.

860000 Hosta 'Wide Brim’    Sold Out  
Quart Pots - $7.95 ea.
Low and wide, with great color and texture, ‘Wide Brim’ is bound to be a standout in any planting. Leaves are deep green, heavily puckered, with very wide, irregular yellow to cream margins. Increases rapidly. Because it doesn’t get very tall, it goes well in front of the larger blues. Pale lavender flowers.
